It's the bottom of the 9th, the bases are loaded and there's 2 outs. It all comes down to you to deliver the Grand Slam and bring everyone home. You step up to the plate, grasp the bat firmly, and take a mighty swing as the ball barrels towards home...Crack! you send the ball flying...It's going, it's going, it's gone!

Trivia:

Championship Baseball was Milton Bradley's flagship game for the MBX gaming add-on. It was this game which was shown extensively at the January 1983 CES show and also was pictured on all MBX promotional material (such as the MBX Cartridge Catalog pictured at the bottom of this page).
 This game along with I'm Hiding and Terry Turtle's Adventure were offered for sale as 3rd party cartridges from Milton Bradley in addition to being sold through TI (this page is for the version sold through TI). The 3rd party releases came with different labels and cases than the cartridge pictured on this page. The 3 titles MB offered for sale independent of TI were the ones that required an MBX system in order to run, which helps explain why MB would have sold these as a 3rd party since they were responsible for manufacturing the actual MBX system. The 3rd party releases are extremely hard to come by, as only one MB release has been found to date and that being I'm Hiding.

This game MUST be used with Milton Bradley's MBX System (an add-on for the TI-99/4A). The MBX allowed for the use of Voice Recognition, improved Speech Synthesis, a 360° Analog Joystick, and an Action-Input Keypad for video games designed for it. Since Championship Baseball was designed around all these features, you must have the MBX plugged into the TI-99/4A to play this game.
